Instructor
Helena Wu, LM, CPM has been attending homebirths since November 1990 in the southwestern Vermont area. She trained by apprenticing with different midwives and loves teaching midwifery students and others about natural birth. She has been a La Leche League leader and childbirth educator and is the Northeast Coordinator for Birth Arts International.
Her grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts were all born at home with midwives back in China and Hong Kong. The youngest of her three grown children was born at home before the doctor arrived! Preserving the right of women to birth in the sanctity of their own homes is important to her.
Helena studied herbal medicine at the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine. She grows and wild crafts herbs, makes remedies, teaches classes and sees clients for health consultations. Teaching people how to listen to the plants is deeply satisfying to her. She is on the Council of the Northeast Herbal Association and a member of United Plant Savers, and is an Approved Preceptor.
“My work is about restoring our relationship with Spirit and Nature, the source of all true healing. Whether it is working in the realm of birth or plant medicine, these are the “experts” we consult to discover the where, what, how and when of our path to wholeness. “ |
